I am interested in the sight level tube upgrade if they are still available.

I bought a few from Boomer not too long ago. May still have some.

Yes I have a sight tube mod for the X440s and MX400. Here are some pics...
The Fill Level Plug is replaced with a permanent banjo bolt, then a clear tube curls up to a tee at the Filler VentPlug.

What size threads are the fill plug on the frame spar?

Do you offer something like this for the quads?

No, but easy enough to do,... I think a continuous clear tube would be more useful than a fixed sight window, so you could see the whole range of oil levels -- including the lowest level = hydrolock.
Others have drilled to insert a glass window, at dipstick level.
